Paula Abdul Films

Paula Abdul Films Biography: Paula grew up in the San Fernando Valley, California. She began taking dance lessons when she was eight. She attended Van Nuys high school, where she was senior class president, and head of the cheerleaders. After graduating in 1980, Paula started college at Cal State-Northridge, majoring in TV and radio. After joining the L.A. Lakers cheerleaders, and becoming the head cheerleader/choreographer after only a few months, she dropped out of college to dance and choreograph full-time. She was recruited by The Jacksons to choreograph their 1984 "Torture" video, the first in a long list of videos and movies she would choreograph. She branched out into singing with her first CD, "Forever Your Girl", which had lackluster sales until the single "Straight Up" exploded onto the charts in December 1988 and so to her popularity.
